The Farmhouse Goes Modern – Especially for Millennials

Millennials
– the generation reaching adulthood in the early 21st Century – are now our
largest category of new
home buyers. They’re also among our most enthusiastic
fixer-uppers. And Millennials’ tastes in kitchen and bath design aren’t as
strictly Modern as you might think.

We’re
seeing many young homeowners embrace the Modern Farmhouse style. The watchwords
here are comfort
and craftsmanship, hearth and heritage, simplicity and
sustainability.

Whether
they’re rehabbing a neighborhood bungalow or a genuine Midwestern farmhouse,
Millennial homeowners carefully blend rustic furnishings and
Industrial-inspired accents. They’re focusing their living spaces on family
heirlooms and artisanal details – yet with no sacrifice in the latest high-end
amenities and high-tech conveniences. The result is a Modern Farmhouse both
warmly welcoming and completely contemporary.
